A Sea of Blue Goo

This story comes courtesy of Jack...
We've had a couple of days to reflect on the mess and what a pain it was to clean up, so I think I'm ready to tell this story with a smile on my face. Jack is mischievous, more so than his older brother which means I need to watch him like a hawk. The other day Will and I were both upstairs and Jack had gone downstairs to play. I was cleaning, but I would still hear Jack on the monitor and it sounded like he was playing in Will's big bucket of toys. I swear I heard him dump them all out. Then I hear Jack say "I've made a big mess. I'm cleaning it up." Of course I thought he was referring to the toys. Then I hear him say again, "I'm cleaning it up, with a towel." Of course there is no reason to clean up toys with a towel so I ran downstairs to see what kind of damage had been done.
Jack had poured an entire container of liquid (blue) laundry detergent all over the laundry room floor. Because there was so much a lot of it had traveled into the boys bath and of course under the washer and dryer. What a mess!! I cleaned everything I could reach. When Doug walked in the door the first thing he said was, "it smells good in here," I promptly escorted him to the mess and he went to work moving and cleaning under the washer and dryer. Between the two of us it took over an hour to clean up all the blue goo.
I've read dozens of stories/emails about the "creative" and sometimes naughty things boys do. So here's number one on the Peppmeier list. Hope you enjoyed the tale and will always make sure your soap is WAY-out-of-reach of little hands.
